Why didn’t you tell me about redirect plugins!!! You mention it about redirecting your home page to the calendar in a faq. Indeed I could’ve sorted this by linking each of my event posts straight to WP Themed posts by simply using a redirector!
Now I can do what I asked in the first place. Its been a lot of pain but search and find there’s always an aster right there staring in your face!
So happy I can finish this project.The redirector is Forget it! Halleluja! Ive found a solution. After reading someone’s post about how to get the Calendar on the home page I suddenly realised a a way to redirect each of my event posts to my themes WP psosts. – redirection!
The redirect plugin that works with TCE Pro is Quick Page/Post Redirect Plugin.
Fabulous plugin! Does everything I need it to without bothering with custom fields etc…
Hope my quest helps others!Forget it! Halleluja! Ive found a solution. After reading someone’s post about how to get the Calendar on the home page I suddenly realised a a way to redirect each of my event posts to my themes WP psosts. – redirection!

Fabulous!Still trying to reference a normal WP post off the calendar rather than a TCEPro Event post.
If anyone has ideas of how to lay in some suggested code from a support guy from ACF into a function (which php file should I put his recommendations into please could you help – URGENT!
Here’s the link:How to display a wp post from a custom field trigger in custom posts (events)
Thanks. When you first go in, the first four ascending posts of the theme get overridden with the last 4 posts desc order when TCE Pro is switched on (I checked out the problem on base wp themes so it is my theme I believe) – I can live with that, I made May and June’s carousel selectable off the menu to help people.
Shame nobody has come in with a solution to my above problem. Can we give it a few more days before you close this?
Ive found something that may point to he right direction here;-
Could someone take a look and see if this could be slightly modified for my request?
And Brook has done a great job trying to service my question – no probe with your support at all. Once again apologies for my overzealousness.
Hoi Rob, sorry that I came across like that – inexperience. But you see I just thought TCE Pro would be able to link to regular posts and now it seems that to get the best out of it Ive learned you have to be a programmer. I love the calendar itself don’t get me wrong – I just need it to work as Im under pressure to put our underfunded festival & pages together.
I’d spent hours inserting info into pages and we love our theme (I understand maybe you & others don’t) but its kinda interactive & on-site useable too.
If you do a search for 100% compatible themes for TCE/Pro out there I couldn’t find many that best make use of features I need and for commercial reasons I assumed that there would be more support than just the standard themes which come with WP – even though I understand you use those as test defaults to find if your plugin is playing up or a themes. Overall the them works well at the moment but I hate the fact Ive got to replicate my posts into event posts. Perhaps I should have bought the calendar pro first then the theme but its too late now.
I love the usefulness and layout of TCE – I just want to be able to link to my regular posts via the custom field page_link to display my posts instead. Ive gone through all my events and made the relationship I just hope someone can come up with a solution./ I am surprised that nobody ever requested it. Indeed I have searched ACF, here, and everywhere and I find that nobody has requested a way to trigger and display other urls from event calendars. Perhaps a future update to TCE Pro could offer standard posts the fields from the events to overcome theme incompatibilities ? Ive posted a view about this.In summary I love TCE Pro – I just have to become a programmer or pay big money I haven’t got to program some code to show a url. Ive learned my lesson.
Maybe this will display the code here…!
/*< a href=”<?php the_field(‘page_link’); ?>”>Read this!</a/
Apparently reading ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) this code will pull the url of the relationship:-
Lets say page_link = “my_tribe_event_link_field” then
“>Read this!</aBut I want to trigger it to DISPLAY the page_link url (which is a standard wp post).
Anyone know how to code it?
Ok Ive got Events to show my post in the custom field entry which is a page link. Somehow I need to get that link to show the post!
Is this now where I have to find/write get someone to write a hook routine to show the results of the custom field = the exact post (“Showtime at…”) on screen?Trying to do page link in
In Location section of custom fields it has Rules;-
Create a set of rules to determine which edit screens will use these advanced custom fields
Ive checked Page Link relationship.
post type is set as ‘tribe vents’.
So I put in the Locations Rule to Show this field group if Post type is equal to Post …Looking in theme settings there is only one page template (page.php).
Just going to try your url idea…
Yes, but you only have the choice of a default page template or default Events template. How do show other templates? I need different colour backgrounds for different categories in my posts/events. Also I will still have to copy all my posts to pages if we could utilise multi templates based on themes?
